Localization of transiently expressed truncated SYT1-EmGFP proteins in ER- or Golgi-labeled protoplasts. A, SYT1-EmGFP and truncated SYT1-EmGFP proteins were transfected into protoplasts isolated from leaves of a transgenic plant expressing CFP-tagged Golgi marker proteins. B, co-localization analysis of SYT1-EmGFP or TM-SMP with ER-Tracker. C, CFP fluorescence in a transgenic plant expressing CFP-tagged Golgi marker and wild-type protoplasts stained with ER-Tracker. Projection images generated from optical sections of EmGFP florescence and CFP or ER-Tracker in protoplasts expressing full-length or truncated SYT1-EmGFP proteins. Emissions of EmGFP and CFP or ER-Tracker were observed using a confocal fluorescence microscope. The fluorescence images obtained from individual optical sections were reconstructed as projection images. SYT1, full-length SYT1; C2A-C2B, tandem C2A and C2B domains; TM-SMP, TM with SMP, BF, bright field; GFP, GFP fluorescence; Golgi, CFP fluorescence; ER, fluorescence of ER-Tracker; Merged, merged image of GFP with CFP or ER-Tracker. GFP fluorescence was pseudocolored green, and CFP or ER-Tracker fluorescence was pseudocolored magenta. Bars indicate 10 μm.
